Built on a former golf course, Jungle enhances its natural surroundings rather than replacing them. Designed by Tsuyoshi Morioka, the mastermind behind the revival of Universal Studios Japan, the park spans 2.4 acres and is packed with 22 unique attractions, 15 dining options, and 10 shops. Its goal? To bring sustainable, immersive fun to one of Japan’s most scenic but under-visited regions.

Whether you're an adrenaline junkie, a nature lover, or someone who just wants to soak in a spa surrounded by trees, Junglia has something for you.

Thrills and family fun in the heart of nature

Let’s talk about the rides. One of the main highlights is the Dinosaur Safari, where you’ll hop aboard a jeep and encounter over 20 life-sized dinos, including a 19-metre brachiosaurus and a dramatic T-Rex showdown. Then there’s Sky Phoenix, a zipline-style glider that lets you soar through the jungle canopy.

Relaxation meets nature at Spa Junglia

One of Junglia’s standout features is Spa Junglia, certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest jungle infinity bath. Surrounded by subtropical greenery, the spa includes rock baths, natural hot springs, cave pools, and open-air saunas. It’s not every day you get to unwind in an infinity spa in Okinawa that blends seamlessly into the jungle.

This is the ultimate retreat for wellness travellers, a must-visit for couples and solo explorers seeking serenity after a long day of adventure.

Dining, night shows, and unforgettable views

The food scene at Junglia is also worth talking about. Panorama Dining offers a glass-walled restaurant with cosy “bird’s nest” seating that looks out over the treetops. There’s also the Infinity Terrace, where you can enjoy jungle views while having a light meal or drink.

And don’t rush back to your hotel after sunset, Junglia’s nighttime entertainment includes acrobat shows, live music, and fireworks set against the jungle. It’s truly magical from day to night.

Supporting Northern Okinawa’s growth

Junglia is more than just an attraction, it’s a major part of the Japanese government’s plan to revitalise northern Okinawa, an area often overshadowed by popular spots like Naha and Onna. Supported by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, the project is projected to generate ¥6.8 trillion in economic impact and create over 880,000 jobs over the next 15 years. This makes it not only a fun destination but also a meaningful one.
